About message "File or assembly name Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, or one of its dependencies, was not found."

When I created a new Measurement Studio Window Form project in Visual Studio .NET, I got the message "File or assembly name Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, or one of its dependencies, was not found."  Can someone help me by answering why I got this?

Hi JasmineRain,

I've done some searching on the error you mention and the fix I have found is to install C# or C++ features with Visual Studio. Would I be correct in assuming that you only have VB components installed?

I found this on the MSDN website:

“Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=n...

The reason this happens is because the required file (Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine) is only installed with C# or C++.

I hope this helps!
